A Few Teachers Creeds I Would Like to Share...Enjoy! :)
"Teacher's Creed" I am a teacher. I accept the challenge to be sagacious and tenacious in teaching every student because I believe that every child can learn.
I accept the responsibility to create a learning environment conducive to optimum achievement academically, socially, and emotionally.
I actively pursue excellence for myself and for my students.
I provide a model of decorum and respect that guides my students as well as honors them.
I affirm superlative expectations for my students and myself
I cherish every child I am a teacher. I change the world one student at a time.
"Teacher Attitude" I’ve come to a frightening conclusion that I am the decisive element in the classroom. It’s my personal approach that creates the climate. It’s my daily mood that makes the weather. As a teacher, I possess a tremendous power to make a child’s life miserable or joyous. I can be a tool of torture or an instrument of inspiration. I can humiliate or heal. In all situations, it is my response that decides whether a crisis will be escalated or de-escalated and a child humanized or dehumanized. --Haim Ginott
·“No one has yet fully realized the wealth of sympathy, kindness, and generosity hidden in the soul of a child. The effort of every true education should be to unlock that treasure”
·“A gifted teacher is as rare as a gifted doctor, and makes far less money.”
·“A teacher is one who makes himself progressively unnecessary.” ·“He who dares to teach must never cease to learn.”
·“All learning begins with the simple phrase, "I don't know".
·"It is not so much what is poured into the student, but what is planted that really counts."
·“Kind words can be short and easy to speak, but their echoes are endless.”
·"A hundred years from now it will not matter what my bank account was, the sort of house I lived in, or the kind of car I drove . . . . but the world maybe different because I was important in the life of a child."
